How Many Children Should I Have? – I know this is a big topic and one for which some people have very strong convictions, but I quite like David Murray’s handling of it.

The Secret Things of the Lord – “What is the will of God for my life? In this excerpt from his Foundations teaching series, R.C. Sproul distinguishes between the decretive and the preceptive wills of God.” These are important distinctions.

The Debate – Kevin DeYoung will get you caught up on an interesting discussion of the connection of law and gospel.
